21.08.2025 Item No.38 Ct.No.34 rc.

Reject C.R.M. (M) 985 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Howrah Police Station Case No. 143 of 2024 dated 27.04.2024. And In Re :

Amit Chakraborty @ Bachha Bangali @ Mujauddin Islam ... Petitioner Sk. Toslim Ali ... for the Petitioner Mr. Soumik Ganguly Mr. Abhinaba Mukherjee ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Witness action has commenced. The case is based on circumstantial evidence. There is no material against the petitioner that warrants his further detention. He prays for bail. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. The victim accompanied the petitioner from his house on the fateful night after which he was murdered. The gait pattern of the petitioner has matched with the images captured by the CCTV at the place of occurrence. The petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment. Considering the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The bail application is disposed of.

Case Diary is returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
